New Post... finally :)

Hello to all my friends and family,

I know it's been a while since my last post but getting up into the Tablelands during the wet season is like trying to shoot a very small fish in a very large barrel with a BB gun. It's not about getting wet - it's about the wisdom of driving the winding road up the mountain through the rainforest to get "there and back again" (as Bilbo would say) in the rain.

But after 3 tries, we made it up this past weekend to finally paddle Lake Eacham again... the remnants of an extinct volcano now filled with water.

In the first pic, you'll see the Baron Gorge Falls; now flowing a bit rough due to the rain. The second is my friend Jeff paddling (I know his wife must wish we could carry a third Kayak on my roof :); the third is you know who posing with Flat Meghan (a school project my neice is working on) under a fig tree; and then you know who doing some paddling followed by a Flying Fox roost we stumbled across on our way to the lake.

I hope all is well back home and I'll see you soon... actually, we'll see you soon :)

Love and miss you all. Cheers, Matt
